I am not overall fond of the site this is from, but Katz apparently managed to independantly wrap his mind around a concept I been pushin behind for years, and his take on it is worth a read.

That Which Is Unacceptable to Us, Let Us Not Do to Children

http://lewrockwell.com/katz-j/katz-j36.1.html

Obvious to anyone who considers them human beings - and that most people, our law and our society do not, is a bitter strike against our own humanity.

Booyah!

Looks like we're two-fer-two on the issue this week.

Are the Young People That Shrinks Label as Disruptive Really Anarchists with a Healthy Resistance to Oppressive Authority?

Well yes - and while first we accuse them of mental illness and ostracise them, and if they still don't toe the line, off to the gulags right ?

And I think by now the relationship between letting them do shit like this to kids, and that same shit then being directed at us once they get all the kinks worked out is clear enough I don't have to go into detail on that all over again - but I will say it's why I very very cautious in attempting to score better and more available mental health care for the population as a whole, cause it'd be all too easy to turn THAT one around into Soviet style re-education wouldn't it, neh ?

As to WHY children are viciously rebelling in increasing numbers, perhaps it has maybe a little, tiny, wee bit to do with HOW WE TREAT THEM, hmmm ?

Texas Students Thrown in Jail for Days ... as Punishment for Missing School?

I dunno if there's something in the water in Texas and Florida, but seriously what the hell is WRONG with those people, in a general sense ?!

Keep the Shiny side up

Hmm.

"The mass media equates anarchism with chaos and violence. However, the social philosophy of anarchism rejects authoritarian government, opposes coercion, strives for greatest freedom, works toward “mutual aid” and voluntary cooperation, and maintains that people organizing themselves without hierarchies creates the most satisfying social arrangement. Many anarchists adhere to the principle of nonviolence (though the question of violence has historically divided anarchists in their battle to eliminate authoritarianism). Nonviolent anarchists have energized the Occupy movement and other struggles for economic justice and freedom.

In practice, anarchism is not a dogmatic system. So for example, “practical anarchist” parents will use their authority to grab their child who has begun to run out into traffic. However, practical anarchists strongly believe that all authorities have the burden of proof to justify control, and that most authorities in modern society cannot bear that burden and are thus illegitimate—and should be eliminated and replaced by noncoercive, freely participating relationships."

"When your heart breaks, you choose what to fill the cracks with. Love or hate. But hate won't ever heal. Only love can do that."

It's tricky. The ape brain tells us that parents need to be able to exert authority over their kids. But socially our higher minds can look at a situation think that if parents can't direct their kids behaviour in a constructive direction without force, then maybe those parents aren't a good fit for their kid's personality and vice versa.

Not meaning social services, which can be corrupt and abusive. But sometimes it does take a village. Kids before the 1970s and 1980s used to be more free range, interacting more with adults all around their neighborhood and finding mentors in many places - though, physical punishment was also more popular, and molesters hid in plain sight. But I also wonder if we're not TOO paranoid as well.

Don't have kids don't plan to. Just posing questions for people of all generations on this board because I suspect, depending on generation, we might all have a different take.

There's no shame in farming some of it out to those who know and trust to handle it - Kira's mother fully admits there's issues with the kid she can't even figure out, much less handle, and she trusts me to help the little monster through them, although admittedly I still find the notion of her wanting a sex-change (cause of that icky stuff about once a month) downright hilarious and know better than to take it seriously.

Not to mention I've been tapped to give my ex's soon to be bambino the "Villain 101" class, although I am concerned about incidently/accidently corrupting her.

And sometimes, in the case of Revs kiddo, leaving well the hell enough ALONE is the best answer.

I consider it out social and moral responsibility to offer a shoulder to lean on (even if rejected) to a parent obviously out of their depth, as the consequences otherwise are much, much greater down the line.

This above all - HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE DETERMINES WHAT THEY BECOME.

If your stomach can handle it, watch Elfen Lied to see how much THAT matters.

...Does every girl go through that or something? Or just the violently dangerous unconventional and anti-authoritarian ones?

Freud would have a field day, the jackass.
